SteveHOST
So I went back to it.
SteveHOST
It's a va- it's a vapor, so it's a pretty heavy Perique, uh, in it.
SteveHOST
So we talked about that, uh, with the Cajun Cake.
SteveHOST
So the Cajun Cake has a lot of vapor or a lot of Perique in it, so there's a lot of, uh, peppery notes.
NickHOST
Mm-hmm.
SteveHOST
And I said I noticed that when I stopped drinking our Jay Rieger on it.
ChrisHOST
... are you gonna say the-
SteveHOST
Yours is a little rough over there
BeauHOST
Yeah.
JayHOST
Carolina Red Flake or with Perique or anything else.
JayHOST
I know you sent some samples.
JayHOST
I'm sending him a tin.
BeauHOST
Yeah.
JayHOST
I have it out over here, of, uh, Carolina Red Flake with Perique.
JayHOST
But he's not gonna be in Vegas, uh, so I'm gonna give it to Trey Rice to bring to him.
BeauHOST
Very nice.
HunterHOST
Stewed fruit is absolutely there.
HunterHOST
And you can kind of pick up a little bit of that woodsy spiciness from the from the Kentucky, you can get a little bit of that plummy, just in spice note from the, from the Perique, but all three varietals kind of have spice and we'll get into that with the flavor aroma.
HunterHOST
But the cool thing is this was a, this is totally pressed that he did himself.
HunterHOST
And, um, he got some new rates.
17 MINS LATER
DakotaHOST
So, I say it in... every time we talk about pipe tobacco the retro hell this has a lovely retro hell you can definitely uh detect the dark fire and the perique in the retro along everything else there is a lovely little bit of spice in the retro it is really opening up the richness to this blend one of my slow retro hell it is uh like i said it's bold but it is by no means overpowering This is just a very deep, rich, nuanced approach to Virginia.
HunterHOST
With the spice note, the Virginians have a little bit of spice of their own, for sure.
HunterHOST
But then you get the kind of black peppery spice from the Perique, and on top of that, you get that almost... woody, incense-like, not incense, because that's the word Latakia, but that thing that Dark Fire Kentucky has going on.
HunterHOST
You know what I mean? So all of the varietals have its own spice note, and that through the retrohale, it's really amplified.
JoshHOST
Carolina Red Flake for me, it's, it's good, new, but it's one that, for me, I can tell it's just gonna age very well.
JoshHOST
And, you know, last year it was with Perique, so I got from...
JoshHOST
What, what year was last year? 2025.
JoshHOST
So I got the Red Flake from 2024, and now when I dip into it with two years of age on it, it's like, yeah, this is, this is going where I thought it would.
ChrisHOST
So it's a vapor.
ChrisHOST
Red Virginia's and Louisiana Perique.
ChrisHOST
Good stuff.
ChrisHOST
Is this the same Cajun cake as the other? That we've had previously?
16 MINS LATER
SteveHOST
And they're just... moisture content i mean we've talked about that before where it's almost a little wet if you open a new one or a new uh tin but with this aging it just really works well and makes it burn really nice you said this is virginia preeks red virginia's and then
ChrisHOST
perique yeah and i think that that's it i think that's it so and i don't remember how much but i think it's a good amount of perique
NickHOST
See, I think I might like Perique.
NickHOST
I might like that
DakotaHOST
So guys, this is obviously the 2026 iteration of Cornell and Dill's Carolina red flake.
DakotaHOST
Uh, we did 2025 Carolina red flake with Perique here on this podcast.
DakotaHOST
And, um, You know, this is one of those staple blends within the community.
DakotaHOST
Everyone knows about it.
12 MINS LATER
DakotaHOST
I'm going to smell it here.
DakotaHOST
So the first thing I notice is how it does not smell like a one-day-old McDouble with ketchup McDonald's wrapper.
DakotaHOST
So that was my big flavor note from last year's with Perique, was the ketchup-y note was so overwhelming to me.
DakotaHOST
I mean, it was just absolutely overwhelming.
JoshHOST
Also great.
JoshHOST
The pipe tobacco consists of Dark Fired Kentucky, Virginia, Burley, Perique, Turkish Small Leaf, which I presume is Oriental, and Black Cavendish.
JoshHOST
So it kind of sounds, you know, you hear those components and you kind of, your mind can go a thousand ways because there's, you know, so many different flavor profiles that could be vying for center stage.
JoshHOST
You don't really know what you're going to get.
21 MINS LATER
MikeGUEST
Sure.
MikeGUEST
Those would be the two because I can't really think of many others that stick out in my mind.
MikeGUEST
Carolina Red Flake would be on that for a lot of people, but I wasn't a big fan of it with or without Perique.
MikeGUEST
It just didn't hit that strong for me.
JoshHOST
Because somewhere in that warehouse, buried beneath mountains of Virginia...
JoshHOST
Burley, Perique, and Cavendish was the secret ingredient.
JoshHOST
The ingredient that made Cornell and Deal tobacco truly special.
JoshHOST
Seb picked up a small jar.
27 MINS LATER
SebHOST
I
JoshHOST
don't know if that's Burley.
JoshHOST
I think I'm getting a little Perique funk.
SebHOST
I can definitely see Perique.
HunterHOST
And so real quick, something I want to point out is that the description says layers of red Virginia, dark-fired Burley, Turkish, and Cavendish.
HunterHOST
The components, however, the list of components include Virginia, Perique, Darkfire, Kentucky, Burley, and Oriental.
HunterHOST
So the description has Cavendish, but not Burley.
HunterHOST
The components have Burley, but not Cavendish.
39 MINS LATER
HunterHOST
And so, like, I was talking about spicy, and we've mentioned, you know, there's Dark Fired Kentucky in this, which will give you spice.
HunterHOST
Dark Burley, which will give you spice.
HunterHOST
But there's also Perique, which is very spicy as well.
HunterHOST
And let me say this, make that clear.
